Brazile, Rice, Obama Gave Russian Hackers Free Rein
The American Thinker ^ | 07/17/18 | Daniel Joseph Sobieski

The conveniently timed indictments of 12 more Russians by Deputy A.G. (or should we just face reality and ditch the word "deputy"?) Rosenstein, who will never see the inside of an American courtroom, probably includes the Russian who "hacked" into John Podesta's email account secured with the password "password."

Rosenstein was no doubt pleased with himself to announce that 12 Russian spies were caught – er, spying, on President Obama's watch, by the way, but neglected to include one small detail in his announcement – namely, that DNC chair Donna Brazile and most of the Obama hierarchy let them do it.

***snip***

The DNC never turned its servers over to the FBI, although it is not clear what Obama's and Comey's FBI would have done with them. Instead, Brazile, et al. simply stood by while the Russians emptied the computer jar of its cookies. Among stuff you couldn't make up was election cheater Donna Brazile telling Martha Raddatz, who got choked up over Trump's victory, on ABC's This Week on Sunday that Russian hackers kept her and predecessor Debbie Wasserman Schultz so busy that the DNC barely had time to put its fingers on the scale to tip the nomination to Bernie Sanders while feeding Hillary Clinton debate questions in advance.

***SNIP***

So too do the American people, and so do sane analysts respond to the Rosenstein indictments and the Mueller investigation into collusion with the Russians. If anybody was colluding with the Russians – and we haven't even touched the Hillary-DNC financing of the dossier used to spy on Hillary's political opponent – it was the likes of Donna Brazile, Susan Rice, and one Barack Hussein Obama.

Not much new here but a very nice summation of what went on in the lead up to the election regarding "Russian hacking" of the democrats.

About 20 years ago, while wrapping up my military career....I came one day to realize that an enormous amount of the leadership that you interacted with on a daily basis....had zero knowledge or understanding of the network they were using, the security, or the general rules.

My humble guess is that if you wrote up a simple 10-question test of security rules on a network....none of these people could pass.

I agree with that but these people are guilty of far more than simple ignorance concerning cyber security.

DWS haas a lot to answer for concerning the hiring of the Awan clan and the outrageous salaries paid for an IT crew with no IT experience. They were paid over 4 million dollars all told. What were they doing to earn over $160,000 a year each?

I think the Trump crew needs to start referring to it as 'alleged "Russian hacking" of the democrats', and point out that the server was never examined by the FBI.
